The documentary tells the story of the exclusion and internment of Japanese Americans from Bainbridge Island beginning in March 1942.  They were the first 227 of 117,000 American residents of Japanese ancestry, 70,000 of them native-born U.S. citizens, forcibly removed from the Pacific coast and interned in camps across the deserts of the West for the duration of World War II.
